[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner reaches into his bag and pulls the Balm Mushroom out, keeping a tight grip on it and staring right back at Erika with a completely straight face.  "I understand perfectly.  If I didn't, I wouldn't have even approached you with such a request in the first place.  So far, the crimes have mostly been nothing more than the pickpocketing of various items that could be easily replaced or had a decent monetary value.  As I said, the most interesting stuff doesn't relate to the festival much, and aren't really crimes at all.  

"That officer from day one that came up to you all frantically?  I'd be more than happy to return his Growlithe to you right now should a suitable replacement pokemon be exchanged for it.  The only other pokemon I've taken from their trainer were a Breloom and a Shiinotic, though they weren't particularly loyal to their former owner in the first place, and turned on him the moment things started going badly for them. Though I doubt the trainer remembered that little fact when he eventually reported his pokemon and items stolen considering he's a heavy drug addict.  Oh, and a Heliolisk technically, though with that one, his trainer just outright abandoned him and left him to burn to death for all he cared after he lost a battle against me.  Real shame, that one, but he'll have a better home with me than the jerk who didn't hesitate to kill one of his own pokemon when it refused to obey him any longer.

"Now let's see...as for cost...I'll do you a favor and not overcharge you too much.  Our lines of work might not mesh very well, but I do still have some respect for you and the the police, after all.  $25,000 for the mushroom is usually a pretty standard inflated price, if I remember correctly.  And as for pokemon...well, what kinds of pokemon are you able to either provide now or deliver by the end of the festival?"
